AACAA

This is exactly the same thing that Aztec did over a year ago. I only put my name in the title as it was also an 'a' and Aztec himself isn't doing it so it would be silly to put him in it. I was pressured by Lew to host another one as it died and Aztec rarely comes on here anymore. If he returns and wants to do it then I'll happily hand it back over.

Here is the original just for the sake of referencing:

It was quite a popular competition / thing and was a lot of fun. Hopefully it will be active again but spam games that involve pictures and making drawings rarely last for very long. :sad2: We'll see how it goes though.

I'll copy and paste Aztec's rules.

This will be known as the AACAA! All artwork must be done in [a paint program] and will have their work voted on by their peers. This is a serious thread. Not everyone has artistic talent; not everyone has photoshop; everyone wants to participate in an art competition. Anyone can join!
Basically every now and then another thread will be created for voting, and themes and such will be dished out in this thread beforehand.

The art doesn't have to be fantastic, in fact the point of it is that it isn't fantastic. There are great artists here and people that want to be great feel left out, so here is a chance to show off your own imaginations even though you lack the skill to do it properly. Or if you do have the skill... Join in anyway but do it for a joke or do a picture slightly sillier than your usual.

PM your attempts (if anyone makes any) to me as they are to be anonymous. Like Aztec did I will also be entering myself to help keep it alive. It doesn't mean I have more chance of winning though as the winner is decided by a public vote, and I'm crap anyway.

You can post any questions or any talk you want to say related to this for the hell of it in this thread if you want, and please do as it might keep this alive. :monster:

If not, then poor Lew will cry as this is all for him. :sad2:



Ok then the first theme will go ahead from now.

Theme: Scotland
Rules: All kinds of art / graphics program, but nothing complex.
Due Date: Monday 14th June.
Send to: Argor251


I have the deadline so near as it only requires a quick doodle in paint etc, nothing fantastic. If nobody sends in an entry and this whole thing fails then I'll just keep moving the deadline (like I did with my games *cough* pin the tail on the donkey is still not pinned*cough*). :brooding:

Have fun. :monster:

I own a MAC, so I don't have paint. Can I still join if I just use the basic brushes and eraser tool in PS? :sad2:
 
Yeah sure. I'll change the rules now to basically mean anything like that which is simple. I just copied Aztec's template.
 
Why would people do that? :D

Or how is it possible to avoid that I guess. :hmmm: Well it depends on the definition and degree of making fun.
 
So lemme get this straight... this is just a 'competition' for shit but lulzy artwork done with paint? Awesome. :monster:

Essentially, yeah.

I've had quite a few entries already and they've all been awesome. This thing is looking good so far. :awesome:
 
There's even an entry from someone who is currently b&
 
:sad2:

I noticed that.

His entry will still count even though the voting thing will be up before he returns.
 
I'll end the first one tonight, so if anyone else wanted to get an entry in then it is best to send it in whenever you can. I'll put the voting up then.
 
I'll try and get one in over lunch today before you end the competition.
 
I'll wait a while longer to give Lew and Busta a chance to get their entries in (if they still want to do one). I'll make the thread tomorrow or something.
 
I was joking, but Hal said:
I'm fine with it
So the next theme will be Hal.

Theme: Hal.
Rules: All kinds of art / graphics program, but nothing complex.
Due Date: Monday 21st June.

I know I'll likely have to keep extending the deadline, but I put it earlier just in case we do get some entries.
